4th of July plans?
I'm just wondering what you've got going on to celebrate Independence Day this year.
(Yes, I'm being culturally insensitive by assuming that everyone on here celebrates American Independence Day...sorry, Berliner, Duff, etc.) Food, fireworks and fun? Car travel, camping and copious alcohol consumption? Music, meat, mayhem and murder? What's on your holiday menu? pg--Curious. AND without plans of his own while being far from home. Invites are welcome!--seattle (but will be in Illinois on July 3rd.) |

Re: 4th of July plans?
Did you know that Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island originally started in 1916 as a way for a group of immigrants to settle a dispute and prove who was the most patriotic?

Re: 4th of July plans?
I plan to visit my husband's grandmother and scan the radio waves for "R-O-C-K in the U.S.A" and get really mad that nobody is playing it.

I'm doing a 10k in North Andover, MA. Then I'm getting on an airplane and going to France.

Going to my uncle's annual thing in Pawling, NY, where he always has one of those mosquito killing machines running. Badminton!

Re: 4th of July plans?
I plan on waiting until dusk, then climbing up on my roof and sitting in a folding chair to watch the fireworks. Then, the flimsy chair will collapse from the strain of my massive girth, I'll somersault backwards off of the roof and onto a pile of rusting barbecue tools I still haven't put away from the 2008 July 4th party I held back when my friends and I were still on speaking terms. My groans of agony will be indistinguishable from the "oooohs" and "ahhhhhs" emanating from the gathered masses at the parties being held by my next-door neighbors who didn't even have the decency to give me a pity invite. My cats will watch from the window, wondering why I'm not moving, wondering why I haven't fed them or given them any water for days, unaware that daddy has a meat thermometer lodged in his heart.
